Share Your Love of Waterville Valley on TripAdvisor

August 14, 2012

Before my husband and I go out to dinner or on a road trip or vacation, I check TripAdvisor for restaurant, lodging and things-to-do reviews.

Like most information I find on the world wide web, I take the subjective reviews I find on TripAdvisor (and other “objective” review sites like Yelp) with a grain of salt. Like an Olympic diving judge, I throw out some of the highest and lowest ratings and figure that a semblence of truth and reality can be found somewhere in between.

Love it or hate it, trust it or not — once you become aware of TripAdvisor, it’s hard to look away!

Websites like TripAdvisor wield a lot of influence and power, publishing multi-millions of reviews and opinions each year. In 2011, TripAdvisor attracted 42 million users a month!

Reality is that consumers love TripAdvisor. I’ve embraced it and use the information I glean from it when making my travel and dining decisions. I also post reviews, trying to be as objective as a subjective consumer can be!

As I’ve become more TripAdvisor savvy, it surprises me to see so few Waterville Valley-related ratings and reviews.

And, hey, even if your review isn’t 5 stars, hopefully it’s constructive and we can improve and learn from it.
